endent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed that John Ola Mafo will be the Deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State. A source at the commission's office who pleaded anonymity confirmed this to a SaharaReporters correspondent in Akure on Tuesday night. The source said the name of Mr. Ola Mafo was forwarded to the office of the Administrative Secretary of INEC and has been confirmed by the staff of the office at the Ondo State Headquarters. "Yes, it is true that we received the name of Prince John Ola Mafo as the Deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State,” the source stated. “Mr. Ola Mafo will serve as the main running mate of Barrister Eyitayo Jegede, who has been chosen as the Governorship candidate of the PDP ahead of the November 26 governorship poll.” Banji Okunomo, the Spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State, said the decision to pick Mr. Ola Mafo was sealed by the party's highest decision-making body. Mr. Okunomo disclosed that Mr. Ola Mafo's choice was also considered after several factors that could lead to victory for the party in the forthcoming poll were reached. "At the highest decision-making body of the Ondo State Peoples Democratic Party today, the PDP resolved on the choice of John Ola Mafo as the Deputy Governorship candidate of the party. The party took this far-reaching decision after considering all factors that would lead to its victory at the poll. "The party weighed a number of options, including the credentials of Ola Mafo which ranged from being a former Chairman of Ilaje local government area of Ondo State and former Commissioner for Information in Ondo State. "Ola Mafo was also a former Special Adviser to Governor Mimiko and until his nomination, he was the Chairman of the Ondo State Football Association (ODSFA). He is also a founding member of the PDP, a veteran politician from the Southern senatorial district, particularly Ilaje local government, and a native of Zion Pepe," he said. Mr. Okunomo also told SaharaReporters in a phone interview that the campaign of the ruling PDP would now begin with an Jegede-Mafo governorship ticket. INEC has set this month of October as the deadline for the replacement governorship candidates. http://saharareporters.com/2016/10/11/inec-confirms-john-ola-mafo-pdp-deputy-governorship-candidate-ondo-state

The new found passion of The Super Eagle will surelly take them to New height. Lalasticlacla what sayest thou. CC: semid4lyfe, honeric01 |
Captain Mikel John Obi said on Sunday that a united and focused Super Eagles, and a supportive Nigeria Football Federation, will guarantee the three –time African champions a place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals. The Chelsea midfield ace told thenff.com aboard the ARIK Air plane on the flight back from Ndola that team solidarity and the maturity of the technical crew have forged a new spirit in camp, and that the victory over Zambia at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on Sunday that has propelled the Super Eagles to the top of the so –called ‘Group of Death’ is the beginning of great things to come. “I have belief that we can reach new heights with this team. The boys are so committed that it makes you happy. The coaching crew is made up of very matured and brilliant people who respect the players. We are onto a good thing.” Nigeria won a competitive away game for the first time in 23 months as Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho scored before Collins Mbesuma pulled one back in the Zambian Copperbelt capital. Manchester City of England prodigy Iheanacho has now scored in each of his last four matches for Nigeria: against Mali in France; Luxembourg in Luxembourg City; Tanzania in Uyo and; Zambia in Ndola. A convivial atmosphere prevailed inside the aircraft during the 4 hour-and-22-minute flight back to Abuja, and the celebration mood heightened seconds after landing as players, team officials and other officials learnt that Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions had forced Algeria to a 1-1 draw in the other match of Group B in Blida. “We have a very good chance to qualify for the World Cup if we keep our heads and play at our best level. Each and every one of us is determined to go to the World Cup. Now that we are top of the table, we have to remain there.” The Zambians had hoped to get Nigeria’s Europe –based contingent rendered weak and dehydrated with an early afternoon start (2.30pm), but the Eagles approached the match in a matured manner, not engaging in too much running in the first half-hour, and then taking their chances without blinking. At Saturday’s match coordination meeting, the NFF had requested for water break periods in view of the early start, and the match commissioner, Alhaji Nuru Deen Jawula from Ghana, said he would think about it. Eventually, it was not that necessary, as the Eagles coped well and thwarted the Chipolopolo in front of their fans. A friend who works with the Football Association of Zambia informed thenff.com that 50,000 spectators must have squeezed into the 43,000 –capacity Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. And with President Edgar Chagwa Lungu (said to be a great fan of Eagles’ captain Mikel Obi and assistant captain Ahmed Musa) arriving a full hour before kick off, the arena vibrated endlessly. The quintet of goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene, Stopilla Sunzu, Nathan Sinkala, Rainford Kalaba and Collins Mbesuma were familiar faces in the Zambian starting line-up. But Fwayo Tembo, Chisamba Lungu and Winston Kalengo are also known to be tough customers. They tried to run hard and wear the Eagles down in the 35 -degree heat, but after surviving the first half-hour, the Nigerian attack stepped up a gear and scored two brilliant goals in 10 minutes. Indeed, the Chipolopolo created more chances, and would not forgive Eagles’ goalie Carl Ikeme for denying them so many times. As early as the second minute, Ikeme pushed onto the crossbar a shot from Tembo, and went on to make eight excellent saves including stopping two close range bullet headers. In fact, skipper Kalaba thought he had equalized in the 40th minute, after meeting a pull out by Sinkala with a firm header, only for Ikeme to block. With the job seemingly concluded in the first 45 minutes, much against the plan of the Chipolopolo, the Eagles could afford to take things easy in the second half and simply plan for counter attacks. Ideye could have made it three if he had opted for a header as Iheanacho found him in the box, but he attempted a bicycle kick instead. Mweene also had to be alert to a scorching shot from Iwobi and a dipping from Eagles’ skipper Mikel Obi. In the end, it was a sweet victory. It was the first time Nigeria would win a World Cup qualifying match away from home since defeating Ethiopia’s Walya Antelopes 2-1 in Addis Ababa in October 2013. The Super Eagles’ next game is against the Fennecs of Algeria, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday, 12th November. http://www.thenff.com/2016/10/mikel-solidarity-is-key-in-this-campaign/

The Super Eagles of Nigeria returned to the country after their 2 – 1 away win to Zambia – The delegation arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport in Abuja amidst violence – Unknown gunmen attempted to arrest Shehu Dikko who was part of the party to Zambia The Super Eagles of Nigeria returned into the country on Sunday night, October 9, amidst violence at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport where fully armed unknown gunmen were waiting to arrest the League Management Company (LMC) chairman Shehu Dikko. Dikko was part of the delegation that led the Eagles to Ndola where the Super Eagles defeated the Chipolopolo of Zambia 2 – 1. Two men who were in mufti claiming to be police officers stated that they were from the Jos police command, stressing that they have been given the order to arrest Dikko who is also the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) vice chairman. Our correspondent learnt that the acclaimed police officers failed to present identity cards or warrants to back their presence at the airport. However, Dikko was said to be having a discussion with the Super Eagles’ players, and all efforts by the security agents to arrest him proved abortive. The unknown men decided to shoot sporadically into the air when journalists, NFF officials and members of the club owners accosted them. The Super Eagles players were hurriedly ushered into their bus before being driven off for the safety of their lives. “It was hell last night for us as these two men just appeared from no where claiming they were police officers. They even threatened to shoot us, and we said they should go ahead, but they later left after shooting into the air,” a journalist told NAIJ.com. The Super Eagles media personnel Toyin Ibitoye also confirmed the incident, but quickly added that he was not at the scene when it happened. “Yes, but I was not around the place as I was at the place where we were offloading our bags, but I was later told of what happened,” he to NAIJ.com. All players will now return to their respective clubs but will return for the in November for their next game against the Desert Foxes of Algeria who were held to a 1 – 1 draw by Cameroon. Nigeria top CAF qualifying Group B with 3 points, followed by Algeria and Cameroon who have one point each. Zambia are fourth with no point. http://www.akstrending.com/2016/10/super-eagles-escape-gunshots-upon-their.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook&m=1

NgeneUkwenu:Running from killer to post just to justify this forceful abduction. Well can you compare this scenero you quoted and what happen yesterday. A North Carolina Superior Court judge is charged with trying to bribe an FBI officer to collect text messages between two phone numbers in what the judge said was a family matter. Federal prosecutors on Wednesday announced the charges against Judge Arnold Jones II, who hears cases in three rural eastern North Carolina counties – Wayne, Lenoir and Greene – and is chairman of the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission. The judge had his first court appearance Wednesday and was released with general probation requirements, including restrictions on travel and having firearms. His next court date has not been set. Jones faces a maximum of 37 years in federal prison if convicted of all charges, prosecutors said, but a sentence that long would be unlikely. It's illegal for law officers to demand text or phone information from a phone company without an approved search warrant in an active case. Elliot Abrams, a Raleigh defense attorney, says the charges and the threat of federal prison are excessive. "In my mind, if you go to a friend who's an FBI agent and it's illegal, the FBI agent should say, 'I can't do that. It's illegal,'" Abrams said. "There's a number of less serious crimes that could have been charged here that may have been more appropriate." Prosecutors say Jones approached the unidentified FBI officer a month ago, and the two met in Goldsboro on Tuesday to exchange $100 for a disk supposedly containing the text messages. Jones initially offered to give the officer "a couple cases of beer" for his help but later agreed to $100 in cash. Jones is charged with promising and paying a bribe to a public official, promising and paying a gratuity to a public official and corruptly attempting to influence an official proceeding, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Jones was a private attorney in Goldsboro for 18 years before being elected to the Superior Court in 2008. He earned degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Wake Forest University law school.

The Nigerian Bar Association on Saturday declared a state of emergency in the judiciary following the midnight arrest of some judges by the Department of State Services. The declaration of the state of emergency was made on Saturday evening in Lagos by the NBA President, Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN). Mahmoud addressed the press alongside four past presidents of the association – Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Dr. Olisa Agbakoba (SAN); Mr. J.B. Daudu (SAN) and Augustine Alegeh (SAN). Others in attendance at the declaration, which held at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, were Prof. Kayinsola Ajayi (SAN), Mr. Yusuf Ali (SAN), Mr. Dele Adesina (SAN), among others. Mahmoud said two Supreme Court justices, Inyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta were “abducted”, with their families, adding that he had yet to have the full detail of other judges who could have been involved. Mahmoud said the NBA condemned what it termed the Gestapo-style operation of the DSS. He announced the constitution of an emergency or crisis management team, comprising past NBA presidents to engage with the government. Mahmoud, who said it was not the responsibility of the DSS to arrest judges, described the DSS action as an unconstitutional means of intimidating the judiciary and undermining its independence. The NBA President called on President Muhammadu Buhari to order the immediate release of the arrested judges, vowing that there would be consequences should the demand be ignored. Mahmoud said, “I want to emphasise again that we are not under military rule and we cannot accept this unholy event and Gestapo-style operation. “We, therefore, call on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately caution all the state security agencies and to respect the rule of law and to respect due process. “Any issues affecting the judicial officers, there are established procedures for handling them and we demand that this constitutional process must be obeyed. “Given the unfolding nature of the event and the seriousness of the situation, the NBA hereby declares a state of emergency as it affects the affairs of the judiciary and I hereby constitute a crisis management team, comprising all past presidents of the association. “I want to, on behalf of the association, make the very following clear and unequivocal demands: we demand the immediate and unconditional release of all the judges abducted from about 9pm yesterday (Friday). “The release must be done immediately and without any conditions. Two, we demand that the Department of State Services should limit itself to its statutory and constitutional responsibilities. “I’ll be meeting with the CJN later tonight or tomorrow. There will be consequences should these demands are not met.” http://punchng.com/judges-arrest-nba-declares-state-emergency/

Gbagaaam!!!: North Breaks as Emir Of Kano, Sanusi Hits Buhari, APC, Says they are International Criminals! Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has taken his lash on president Buhari and APC, without mincing words, he accused the APC led government of being corrupt, saying that they have graduated into being international criminals unlike PDP, Read with open mind. Listen to Emir Sanusi…. “Haha, the truth is that we are in worst corruption Nigeria has ever known. From PDP fuel subsidies to APC Dollar subsidies. From PDP oil dealers to APC dollars dealers. from PDP poor screening exercise for Federal employment to APC employment of family members and members of the ethnic group without screening exercise. From PDP national party of corruption to APC ethnic party of corruption. From PDP freedom of information to APC oath of secrecy. From PDP freedom of movement and civil liberty to APC restrictions of right. From PDP robust INEC to APC nepotic INEC. from PDP National DSS to APC family/ethnic/ party Dss. From PDP rule of law to APC Buhari body language. From PDP corrupt governor to internationally acclaimed super corrupt minister. http://afrivibes.net/2016/09/gbagaaam-north-breaks-emir-kanu-sanusi-hits-buhari-apc-says-international-criminals.html From borrowing money to purchase nomination form to having a wife with 40 million naira hand bag, Halliburton nko? The COAS estate isnt not corruption under Buhari, meanwhile under GEJ a minister was sacked because a company he once had interest in bidded for the power he was privatizing. Under PMB the EFCC boss with millions of dollars traced to his bribing scandals has gone free and unquestioned while under GEJ Stella of aviation ministry was sacked to allow free and fair investigation into a frivolous allegations against her which she was later proven innocent. Between PMB and GEJ who is truly corrupt? Who has abused the people’s power entrusted into his hand? Who have raped us, killed us extrajudicially? Who has appointed his tribesmen into offices against the spirit of federal character? Is tribalism an act of corruption? Is nepotism an act of corruption? Is cronyism an act of corruption? Is maginalisation an act of corruption? Is seizure of citizens right an act of corruption? Who is corrupt? APC has not been able to conduct election since Buhari took over, what is it? Coooo what? Is it cooo purity or ruption? Hahaha. Ondo APC primary witnessed bags of money under the leadership of saint Buhari….it is change.”
